He is a man who is both cold and warm.

Luo Ling didn't refuse anymore, but instead put the trench coat on herself by reaching into the sleeves.

Li Yuan is 1.9 meters tall, so his trench coat would definitely be too big for Luo Ling, but Luo Ling looks special in it.

Luo Ling opened her umbrella and went outside. Suddenly remembering something, she turned her head and said again, "Thank you for the umbrella, and... your clothes."

He then left.

Li Yuan stared blankly at her back until she disappeared from sight. It was a long time before he reluctantly looked away.

His gaze fell on the flower bed not far away, and Luo Ling's words unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

Everything has its own destiny, and so does everyone. The ending has already been written, and no one can change it.

Fate...maybe such a thing really exists in this world.

His fate was to be separated from her and Nan Nan for more than 20 years. Even when they reunited, there were still many things between them that could not be ignored.

Back then, he concealed his identity as Ling Yin Warrens, and she didn't tell him her identity as Luo Ling either.

The family feud that changed the course of his life twenty years ago involved the Luo family...

Perhaps it was simply due to his advanced age, coupled with the complex and intertwined relationship between the Warrens and the Lo family, that he lost the reckless courage he once possessed in his youth.

Even if they met again, he dared not acknowledge her or tell her his identity as Ling Yin Warrens.

Many things are still unresolved, and they cannot see the future.

Li Yuan suddenly lifted his leg and stepped into the rain, striding towards the flower bed.

……………

That evening, as soon as Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei entered the house, they heard the soft, babyish meows of a kitten.

The couple looked at each other in bewilderment. As they entered the living room, they saw three maids, each holding a kitten, feeding them goat milk powder with syringes.

The maids were utterly fascinated by these tiny creatures, who had never seen them before. A group of them gathered around to watch them eat, chatting away in English.

"They are so cute."

"It's only a tiny little thing, it can't run yet."

When did you get a cat? Judging by its coloring, it should be a very ordinary tabby cat.

"Where is my dad?" Ji Zhinan asked.

Hearing the voices behind them, the maids quickly put away their smiles and said, "Young Miss! Young Master!"

One of the maids replied, "The master is in a meeting in his study and doesn't want us to go up and disturb him."

Ji Zhinan nodded, then turned his gaze back to the kitten: "Whose cat is this?"

"The gentleman brought it back this afternoon and asked us to take it to the vet for a check-up before bringing it back."

"The gentleman also asked us to buy fresh meat and goat milk powder and canned food for the kitten, which means he's going to keep it."

"..." Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei looked at each other silently, not understanding why Li Yuan suddenly wanted to raise cats, and even three of them.

"Did my dad go out today?" The maid said that Li Yuan brought him back this afternoon.

"Yes, Miss, Butler Charles and the master said during the day..."

………

When Li Yuan came down from his meeting, the young couple had already entered the restaurant.

Eddie is quite busy today, so he won't be home for dinner tonight; it'll just be the three of them at home.

Seeing Li Yuan come down, Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei said in unison, "Dad."

"dad."

"Mm," Li Yuan responded, pulling out the chair in the main seat and sitting down.
